Grofers India Chief Technology Officer Varun Khurana call it quits

Grofers chief executive Albinder Dhindsa confirmed the move, but declined to share further details.NEW DELHI: Varun Khurana, chief technology officer of Grofers India, which owns and operates the on-demand delivery app Grofers, has resigned from the company, barely a month after the venture closed a mammoth $120 million (Rs 800 crore) round of funding.

Khurana has spent less than a year at the Gurgaon-based company, which counts a number of marquee global investors in its ranks, including Japanese telecom, media and internet giant SoftBank, Lee Fixel-led Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital, among others. Grofers chief executive Albinder Dhindsa confirmed the move, but declined to share further details. Khurana, too, could not be reached for his comments. ET was also unable to ascertain if the CTO was quitting to join another startup, or to start a new venture altogether.

According to Dhindsa, Khurana will be serving out his notice period at Grofers, which ends at the end of the current month. The resignation comes barely a month after ET had reported that the company had closed its latest round of funding which valued the company at about $400 million (Rs 2,657.2 crore).
